Upgrading to OS X 10.5 Leopard?

Hey gang, just an FYI for you Mac users (all of you??):

Since we're getting into After Effects in class, I would avoid upgrading to apple's newest version of OS X, 10.5 aka Leopard, at the moment.

You can peruse Adobe's site and download a handy and infuriating chart from the home page, but here's the skinny: After Effects CS3 is going to have problems in 10.5 and an update to address those problems isn't coming until early December. Any earlier versions of After Effects (and anything CS2) will "likely encounter errors for which there is no resolution" in 10.5. How's that for technical support?

The other biggies in CS3 (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Dreamweaver, Flash, Fireworks) work fine in 10.5.

So... hold off on the update until you're absolutely done with your movie.
